welcome to arts in the peak

In addition, Arts in the Peak runs a variety of projects for artists and the Peak District community. Current projects include Companion Stones, which is working with poets and artists to create compeers to the Derbyshire Guide Stoops, and promoting its second poet laureate of the Peak, Ann Atkinson.

It is limited to entrants who lived or worked in the area, or visited regularly, and typically attracts 50 entries. The post is for two years.
